I was hoping the developers could add regal names for when a character ascends to the throne. Thanks

I agree, regal names and cadet dynasties are mechanics that should already be in the game. And as mods like GOT and CK2+ have shown, there a great ways to implement them with the current coding
The system exists, and we currently use regnal names for popes in landed_titles.txt
This changes a character's name upon gaining the title so you can add it to landed titles like k_france in your own mods
The problem with using it for regular kingdoms is that it's confusing to players when characters change names constantly!
Code:
k_papal_state = {
# [...]
# Regnal names
male_names = {
Alexander Anastasius Benedictus Caelestinus Callistus Clemens Eugenius Leo
Gregorius Hadrianus Honorius Innocentius Ioannes Lucius Marinus Martinus
Nicolaus Sergius Silvester Stephanus Urbanus Victor
}
}This changes a character's name upon gaining the title so you can add it to landed titles like k_france in your own mods

I agree, that it might be confusing, if it is the standard game rule. It would be a great game option though, and it won’t be confusing for those choosing this option.
In these mods... I Duke James ascends crown of England and gets a random regal name, say Henry IV, then a few years later inherits or ursurps kingdom of Germany, would he rename again to König Frank IX?
In CK2+, for example you don't get it randomly like the pope. The way it works is that for Kingdom and Emperor titles there is a coronation decision that, when it's over, you are prompted to choose a regal name by event from a list of "traditional dynastic names" (the name of previous rulers from your dynasty) or keep your own (that will be included in the list from now on). What happens is that, even if you are called "Bob", upon coronation you can choose to be called "Henry IV" like the previous 3 generations of King Henrys that have chosen the same traditional regal name. Because the coronation event can only happen once, you won't change your name if you inherit another title.
It is cool that the system is in the base game, but it would be nice if you could choose your regal name like you choose the name of your children.
This wouldn't mesh very well with the game's potential for wild alt-history though. Like if k_france becomes an Andalusian Sunni kingdom then a regnal name list containing Louis, Henri, etc. would become inappropriate.
Yes.. it would need to be tied to culture group/religious gruop as well. Papal State is quite safe to have it!
